Not good for playback
I have 24 night owl camera systems that I monitor. The night owl apps are absolutely HORRIBLE with play back or trying to download any video whatsoever. It allows me to see that there is video available to watch but trying to watch them or download them is absolutely not going to happen. The reason the company I work for bought this camera system is for the video,audio, and app that was supposed to allow you to download the videos and do playback with out having to go to the location to do so. Sometimes, it looks like it’s going to download and then kicks you out of the app completely so then you have to go back into the app and wait for what seems like forever for it reload the videos. And if it is a video from earlier that morning good luck trying to find it you have to go to the top of the screen to reload and it only reloads about 10 at a time (if you have over 1,000 videos this is a pain) and most of the time you get disconnected from the system so you have to wait about 5-10 mins before it will reconnect to try to redownload the clips…. You should be able to find it on the desktop application but it will not allow you to watch it or download it either. At this point the app is just trash, unless, the only reason you want it is to watch it live… I ,also, have the desktop version as well and it does the exact same thing only difference is you can’t watch the live video from the desktop. The protect app isn’t much better. I’m not sure who was in charged of developing these but it’s not even worth the download. Just watch your videos with a monitor when you can. If you are a corporation don’t even bother with this system I’m sure there is much better options out there. I don’t normally leave bad reviews but would hate for someone to get as frustrated as I am currently with this set up!! And Yes I have called the night owl help center and stayed on the phone with them for hours trying to figure this out a few years ago when it was just one system and they could not figure it out as well. We also upgraded our internet thinking maybe that was the problem… that didn’t help either. Now that most of them don’t download or do playback we have figured out it’s nothing that we are doing wrong but most definitely a night owl problem.
Needs an update ASAP
Make it compatible with android 13
App is pathetic
If you have their cameras you have no choice but to use their app. It barely works. Never have been able to view motion detection only live view. So you can’t go back and view anything that may have happened. Pretty much worthless. Using on iPhone. Please update your app. You never fix anything.
So bad
I would never recommend these cameras only because this app is horrible.
It Does Work, But Only If You Do This…
The app does work, but only if you grant it access to the “local network.” That setting can be found in the NightOwl app’s settings, which is in your iPad/iPhone’s settings menu (the icon that looks like gears). Be patient, make sure that everything is set correctly and connected at your NightOwl DVR, and you will be able to get this app to work.
Webster’s Dictionary defines “Compatibility” as being capable of cross-fertilizing freely or uniting vegetatively. That, of course, does not apply to this App. After further research, I discovered that it also means designed to work with another device or system without modification. That does apply to this App. Night Owl X HD is now compatible with iOS 13. WooHoo! Secure. Protect. Connect.
